I have been playing Kayn non stop since release and this is what i learned so far (this guide is for TOP and MID lanes) Also, i am not a pro, this are just thoughts of a regular person.

1-Assassin Kayn is useless without at least ONE defensive item and it better be your FIRST item item 3022 or item 3071 (i like frozen mallet better because it gives DOUBLE the health and only have less 10 AD than Black Cleaver)

2-If you want to play Bruiser Kayn i recommend your first item to be item 3068 . Because Kayn loses all matchups in the Top lane if you decide to START with pure offensive items.

3-The job of bruiser Kayn is to be a meat shield, use your stun, and slow oponents with item 3022 . This is as much utility as Kayn can have. Here is a possible build for "bruiser annoying Kayn" (items in order for TOP LANE AGAINST ANOTHER AD CHAMPION) item 3047 item 3068 item 3022 item 3075 item 3026 item 3065
You might be thinking "what about defense against AP? Well your raw HEALTH is defense against AP. item 3068 and item 3022 give you 1125 raw health! Thats more than enough defense against AP (if the enemy team has more than 1 AP user do item 3065 early) Also item 3022 item 3026 give you enough AD for your "red form" to do decent damage and steal enough HP with your ULTY (i think its about 20%).

4-Assassin form is a little bit weak at the moment but if you want to play it go full Lethality with item 3026 and item 3022 Just an example of how a Assassin build should look like item 3111 item 3022 item 3147 item 3142 item 3814 item 3026 I really don't like item 3071 on assassin Kayn because you are already going full Lethality and you are not going to focus Tanks anytime soon. Also, did i mention Frozen Mallet gives DOUBLE the Health? Your job is to focus the mid laner, ADC and other assassins.

Rhaast form needs to have Deaths dance and black cleaver IMO. From there you itemize tank stats.

Assassin Kayn should build cleaver as well, or sometimes swap it out with trinity force. I agree that lethality is strong on him. Your builds aren't bad, but that's the thing about Kayn. You have SO many options.
